Love la tejana! They just recently got added to the Michelin guide

La Tejana is not "quick" as you'll wait an hour in line just for them to sell out.

Weekends are definitely crazy yeah. Week days have been quick in my experience.

Baloncesto t1_jdn1brr wrote

I've never been lucky. I have never eaten there because it's closed or sold out Every. Single. Time. I might try on weekdays, but honestly I'm not inclined to waste more time.

Wheresmycardigan t1_jdnj2xe wrote

I've gotten in/out on a weekday before 8:30AM. It is a crap shoot depending on the latest article, IG post came out lol

It's good and I've been getting them when they started as a pop up at Purple but not something I'd wait in line for (and Im a "will wait in line for food" kinda person lol)

What time are you going? Go before 10 am on the weekends or any time on the weekday.

Just polished off a few breakfast tacos from La Tejana. So good!

what’s so good about them? sounds like some basic ass brekkie burritos you’d find in El Paso

El Paso ain't in the DMV AFAIK.

basic ass don't mean good

df540148 t1_jdt2aep wrote

True, which is why I only go out for breakfast when I'm travelling. This shit is too easy and cheap to make at home.

PikachuThug t1_jdt2otu wrote

i'm just loling at the lines. minus the convenience you make most of the burritos at home

Stunned “Bagels Etc” wasn’t at the top of this list. Best breakfast sandwich in DC by a country mile.

Not only is the quality almost unmatched, they have been accurately described as "ruthlessly efficient"

freecandy_van t1_jdnewfb wrote

Judy and her crew could make any operation more efficient. 3yrs of living next door to this place gave me such an appreciation for their system. If there wasn’t a line, I was out of there in <3 minutes with an amazing sandwich in hand.

I’m shocked there is a good and fast bagel place in dc. Every bagel place I’ve been takes forever.

hemlockone t1_jdnfke0 wrote

Nowhere is remotely competitive on the bagels. I think Call Your Mother has different but pretty good bagel sandwiches. (Not that I'll ever pass up bagels etc if I'm in the area.)

wuwear9696 t1_jdnfy5i wrote

How does bagels etc compare to Bethesda Bagels?

1

way2gimpy t1_jdntves wrote

Call your mother’s bagels aren’t good. Bethesda’s are fine

hemlockone t1_jdng1p6 wrote

I've only had Bethesda bagels once, but if I recall bagels etc was a bit more doughy and way more flavorful (not the toppings, but the actual bagel dough has a delicious almost nutty flavor)

Un je nais se quoi - it’s far from where I live so I only get to go on match days, but their pistachio croissant is the stuff of dreams.

I like their chocolate, coffee, banana croissant. Sounds like a weird combination but don’t knock it til you try it

Bagel sandwich from Call Your Mother, usually bacon, egg, and cheese with honey.

not necessarily my fav but another good option, pretzel bakery. their little breakfast sliders are super quick and convenient and tasty.

My favorite breakfast sandwich is Elle’s brisket sandwich in Mt Pleasant. Order ahead online. Too good

gamecube100 t1_jdmc4xq wrote

Elle is good food, but anybody reading this comment should be aware that a sandwich is $18 and coffee another $10.

octodo t1_jdmsmad wrote

I'm an Elle defender but yeah the prices are fucking bananas. I've also gone for the dinner service a few times and each time it was hundreds of dollars and totally unmemorable.

Their guava turnover is A+++ though

BastardoSinGloria t1_jdmbofl wrote

IMO, also too expensive for what it is. $14 for the sandwich + tax + service fee + tip (if you want to leave one comes close to $18-20 for a sammich.

Wheresmycardigan t1_jdnk63f wrote

>too expensive for what it is

This aint no egg McMuffin with off shelf mass produced products. The sandwich itself is practically a caricature of hipster-small-batch-homemade since everything including the hot sauce is made from scratch. They might as well tell us the hen's name. Queue Portlandia skit

I'm admittedly a Elle stan but i remember back in the day the bfast sandwich was made to order in front and it takes long AF bc they do that French omelet technique and put a TON of butter. Actually it's prob better that they make it BOH so people don't know how much butter goes into a single sandwich.

Best yes expensive and not a quick brand and go.

Tony’s h street

Gumburcules t1_jdo7wsu wrote

I never understood the Tony's boner on this sub.

Yeah, it's cheap, but that's like all they have going for them. It's slow as hell and the food is ridiculously plain - a breakfast sandwich is just an egg and Sysco bacon on wonder bread. The pancakes are clearly Krusteaz food service mix and corn syrup "syrup."

If all you want is a cheap bland breakfast you could make the exact same thing cheaper and faster at home.

I love a good Tatte breakfast sandwich. Swap out the sourdough for a croissant

Tony’s Breakfast Place off H street. Best fried chicken around, and only in the am. They switch to chicken wings only later in the day. (Which are also spectacular)

Cracked Eggery or Republic Cantina

Nikkers1416 t1_jdolamv wrote

I've only had both Republic Cantina and La Tejana once each so maybe my opinion is wrong, but I thought Republic was MUCH better.

Breakfast tacos at Foxtrot (at least the Mt Vernon Square location). They're small and tasty, just right for a quick breakfast.

2

Panda_alley t1_jdwojy3 wrote

what? to each their own but these (specifically from this location, not sure about others) are some of the worst breakfast items ive ever had. they're the size of a pinky finger and each time i have to peel the tortilla off the foil. its been about six months since ive been, and at the time they were coming out of a steamer which i thought was incredibly weird. maybe they've changed since then.

Sunrise Cafe on 17th and L. No frills, filling, affordable, and quick. Sometimes you just want a commodity omelette and starchy potatoes for <$10.

Everything bagel with egg, extra bacon, cheddar cheese and Sriracha mayo is one of if not the best bagel sandwich in DC.

Boeymongers for the bacon/egg/cheese on a roll or Bethesda bagels for the nova cream cheese on an everything.

Call Your Mother is the best for bagels in the city. You can schedule your order on their Tock in advance for next-day delivery so there’s no waking up and waiting an hour. Life-altering revelation.

In NE, I Egg You is great for a greasy Texas Toast breakfast sammy, and they have always have a new weekend special. They put this delightful old bay jalapeño sauce on the side and it’s fantastic. Side loaded potatoes are also a winner.

If you want fried tots, Cracked Eggery is good but their sandwiches are burger style and not quite as good as I Egg You.

That’s all I got. Enjoy.
